In 1938, at the age of 25, Eleanor Graeme-Evans published a novel in London under her maiden name (Turton). Another novel was published in 1940. Forty-three years later, Graeme-Evans won the FAW Alan Marshall award (for best unpublished manuscript) for
From Sarah to Sara. It was another 16 years before the book was published. As E. B. Turton, Graeme-Evans is the author of
I Lived with Greek Guerrillas (1945), a book on the Second World War in Greece. Graeme-Evans now lives in Hobart and is the mother of novelist
Posie Graeme-Evans.
